Scotland’s first dedicated
Planning Appeals and
Local Reviews
Consultancy
Trig Point is Scotland's first consultancy dedicated entirely to planning appeals and local reviews. We aim to redefine the planning landscape by providing specialised support to applicants at this critical juncture of the planning system.

What we do
Whatever your need we can help you contest,
- Deemed Refusal (non-determination of your planning application within prescribed time frame)
- Refusal of your planning applcation by Local Authority Planning Committee (Appeal to Department of Planning and Environmnetal Appeals)
- Delegated Refusal of your planning application by Planning Officer (Application for Review to Local Planning Review Body)
- Removal of unwanted Planning Conditions of Approval
We specialise in planning appeals and local reviews within the Scottish Planning system. We prepare clear, professionally written Statements of Appeal, grounded in National Planning Framework 4 and Local Development Plan policies, along with relevant national and local planning guidance.
Our policy-led approach provides robust, well-reasoned arguments to challenge and seek to overturn contentious planning decisions.

Tailored Planning Strategies
Every approach to the planning appeal system requires a tailored response, shaped by the specific issues of the case, the detailed proposal, the relevant policy context, the reasons for the decision, and the process leading to determination.
We undertake a thorough examination of all relevant detail in order to build a clear, reasoned Development Plan case, presented in the strongest possible terms to give your appeal the best chance of success.
We work closely with you and keep you informed every step of the way, assuring you of the best of attention at all times.

Proven Success Record
As individual Planning Consultants we have a strong track record, built over many years, of successful planning appeals and local reviews.
Our commitment is to do everything possible to ensure your proposed development receives the fair and justified outcome it deserves.
